  • ArchiveBox

    🗃 Open source self-hosted web archiving. Takes URLs/browser history/bookmarks/Pocket/Pinboard/etc., saves HTML, JS, PDFs, media, and more...

    • I love all these kind of projects as I tend to be paranoid of losing good online content.

    It’s also unclear to me how wWayback works. It seems more like an API than a self-hosted service.

    I’m currently using ArchiveBox [0], which provides a complete API + UI.

  • DownloadNet

    💾 DownloadNet - All content you browse online available offline. Search through the full-text of all pages in your browser history. ⭐️ Star to support our work!

    • For archiving, look into https://github.com/dosyago/DiskerNet

    It's real next gen thinking on this topic.

    As for the featured tool wayback... If HN readers can't figure out what it does after reading docs, its likely the thinking behind it is equally unclear.

  • markdownload

    A Firefox and Google Chrome extension to clip websites and download them into a readable markdown file.

    • Looking at the link you gave does not help much in seeing what DiskerNet does and looks like, neither.

    Keeping it simple, I download pages in Markdown adding some metadata (some tags). When I want images or more I use singlefile extension. Add Recoll to the mix and that's all I need.

  • SingleFile

    Web Extension for saving a faithful copy of a complete web page in a single HTML file

  • Shiori

    Simple bookmark manager built with Go

    • Are you using all extractors when saving a page?

    I tried ArchiveBox and Shiori, but neither stuck for some reason. The latter is a bit more lightweight, it can save the entire page as well as a Readability-based conversion: https://github.com/go-shiori/shiori/
